Description
It takes 10+ minutes to read VLANs on Extreme Summit Switches.  After this time, the Current VLAN value may or may not successfully update in the Topology Port View.

 
Currently VLANs are read using CLI commands.  However, this method no longer works or is taking too long on some Extreme switches and the current VLAN information cannot be read.
 



Scope
Version: 8.x

Solution

To be addressed in version 8.7.2 & 8.6.4.  Will have the ability to read VLANs using SNMP instead of CLI, making the process more efficient.     
 

Note: This solution only works on Extreme switches that support dot1qPvid.  Based on vendor release notes, ExtremeXOS 15.7.1 and above supports dot1qPvid.  15.7.1 Release Notes state the following:
The Q-Bridge MIB, defined in RFC 4363 and now transferred to IEEE8021-QBRIDGE-MIB, provides a standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) mechanism to retrieve VLAN specific information.
